Something neat for WFs in the 3.0.6 Sim!

Nobody has mentioned using this, so I thought I would, as it's neat!

When you are testing a watch face, in the sim, under "Simulation", is "Time Simulation"

With it, you can speed things up, so it's easy to check things like the font and size for all possibilities, in both 12/24 hr mode, and really quickly!

It's easy to run through a whole day in minutes and also see if things that happen at midnight or a future data actually happens, etc.

In the past it was things like setting the time on the pc or hard coding time values in the code, etc. This is far easier!

I agree this is very nice, and I've been using the Time Simulation to fast forward the time.

But Time Simulation behaves quite strangely when I set the time to a specific value.

When I set the time to 12:34:56 and

System.println(time.hour.format("%d") + ":" + time.min.format("%02d") + ":" + time.sec.format("%02d")

I get 0:21:34 in the console.

1:23:45 yields 13:19:02.

It seems that the hour, minute and seconds are added to current time. Setting an actual time only works at midnight. And vice-versa, setting the Time Simulation time to 0:00:00 gives you your current time.

I'm using connectiq-sdk-mac-3.1.8-2020-03-04-e5981d10b

How does setting the Time Simulation time work for others?

I'm not seeing any problems, but what I'm thinking is there may be something with your pc/mac being in 24hr mode (I'm in 12hr) For me, if the sim is set for 24, setting the time for time simulation is still 12hr mode.
